Surviving The Games (Chapter 14)~His Dream

Aaron's POV

I fall asleep immediately as my head touches the soft grass.

~Dream, Aaron's POV

I look around.

Flames..

Destruction..

Where am I?

I continue to search, until I see a huge 8 about to fall to the ground. I'm now frantic. 

"LILY! JACOB!" I yell. 

There's no reply, just whimpers and cries from the people of District 8. Then, in the burnt town city hall, I see souls coming out of the ashes. But these aren't any souls... These are the souls of my fellow tributes. None of them have eyes, there are just two black holes in their faces, where their eyes used to be. Aphmau is the first one. Her long black hair is now tangled and faded. She looks.... Dead, honestly. Katelyn and Nicole are by her, with the similar features. Their hair is matted, with pale skin and no eyes. Behind those two, there are Cadenza and Laurance. Then Garroth and Vylad. Then Dante and Gene. Sasha and Kenmur. Kiki and Brendan. Jeffory and Lucinda. Travis and Lilith. Alexis and Abby. Logan and Donna. Everybody.. Except me. 

"You killed us all, Aaron!" Aphmau yells. 

Everyone's attention is directed towards me. I then feel a hand on my shoulder. I whip my body around to see Lily and Jacob standing there. But they're just the same as the others. Fear runs a marathon thru my veins as shivers send down my spine. I can barely look at any of them. Especially Lily, Jacob and Aphmau. I walk back slowly, just to bump into someone else. Again, I turn around swiftly. Aphmau. 

Tears brew in my eyes as I see everyone that I had a general care for. I then run off, trying to ignore the tears that're streaming down my face. Trying to ignore the dead friends and family behind me. Trying to ignore... Everything. I try to wipe the tears away, but they just keep streaming like a violent waterfall. I can hear the calls of the others behind me. Accidentally, I run myself into a dead end. I look around frantically for a way out, but nothing seems to be of escape. Everyone that was once following me is now cornering me. As they're just inches away from my face... Everything goes black.

Am I dead?

What happened?

~Reality, Aaron's POV

I wake up with a start. Hot, steaming tears running down my face which mixing with cold and nervous sweat. I feel someone's breath on my forehead, so my eyes trail up to see Aphmau towering over me. I jump a bit, obviously startled. 

"S-Sorry!" She apologizes, "I-I just saw you crying in your sleep and I-I-" Something didn't want her to finish, because a hand was placed over her mouth with a sword to her neck. 

My hands search around for my blade, but it's gone. The person actually has my blade... What's going on!? 

"L-Laurance... Let me go." Aphmau says in a struggling, yet stern tone. 

"Laurance!?" I exclaim. 

"You guessed right." He smirks, the light of day hitting his face. 

I scramble up onto my feet, "Let her go and take me instead!" I command. 

Both Aphmau and Laurance look at me confused. Laurance laughs, "Did you think I was actually going to hurt her?" He asks, amused. 

"Well... Yea, you have MY sword to her neck!" I exclaim. 

"Exactly. It would be blamed on you because it's your blade. I wouldn't be the one killing her... You would." Laurance smirks again, then digs the sword into her skin. 

She starts to grimace, trying not to scream. My feet are frozen to the ground in fear until I finally lunge at Laurance. He falls to the ground, me on top of him. 

"You chose the wrong person to mess with, Meteli." I growl. 

I grab my blade and put it to his neck, "Wait..." I'm now the one smirking. 

I grab Laurance's blade, throwing mine a few feet away, "If I killed you with your blade, it'd be like you killed yourself!" I exclaim, impressed with myself. 

Laurance scowls, "Laurance! Aaron! What're you two doing?" Cadenza runs into the scene. 

"Leave, Cadenza." Laurance commands. 

"No!" She exclaims, not wanting to leave her brother. 

"I SAID GO!" Laurance yells. 

She stands firm on the ground, Aphmau rushing to her side, "Both of you... Stop!" Aphmau exclaims. 

We ignore her. I dig the sword into his neck. I feel someone... Or something... Pushing me onto the ground. I look up to see Aphmau with the wings of an angel. A quartz sword rests in her hands as gold and white particles radiate around her. 

"Both of you...!" She growls. 

I squint as the particles pass my face. Cadenza hides behind her wings, but Aphmau flies into the air, leaving Cadenza without a hiding spot. She drops the quartz sword, it falling straight up in the ground. 

"A-Aphmau?" Cadenza stutters. 

"Don't do anything... Stop!" We hear another voice call out

A girl with blue hair comes from the shadows, "Katelyn?" We all question in unison.

Kenmur's POV

The Man hasn't been any nicer. He's only gotten meaner. I cower in fear as he passed, then rush to Kiki.

"Where's Brendan?" I ask. 

She points to the shooting area. I sigh, then wait for him to finish. He greets me with a fake smile. Fear is painted in his eyes, it's impossible to hide. 

"Hey, Ken--" Brendan starts, yet cuts himself off quickly. 

His eyes widen, "Brendan... What's wrong?" I question. Brendan drops the bow that was in his hand. 

His hand shakes as he points behind me, "B-B-Behind you." He stutters. I turn around nervously to see everybody who died in the arena.

"W-What!" I exclaim, confused. 

Lilith walks up to me, "Miss us?" She asks, placing her index finger on the bottom of my chin. 

She smiles mischievously, then releases, "H-How're you all here?" I question. 

My attention is directed to Gene, then back to Lilith. I can see Dante from the corner of my eye. He's starring at Gene in disbelief. 

"We never died. The weapons weren't actually going to kill us." Lilith smirks. 

Jeffory wraps his arm around Abby like a brother would, "What!?" I process everything. 

"We were shocked with electricity, enough to pass out. We all thought we were dead... But now we're here." She explains. 

I nod, trying to understand everything. Kiki, Brendan and I glance at each other, then back at the 'fallen' tributes. 

"Guys, we need to talk." I state, looking at the crew of the newly found tributes. 

Lilith nods, then follows me with her group trailing behind. Time to tell them about The Man...
